Teacher of Science
** We are seeking to appoint a dynamic and inspiring Teacher of Science to join our well-established and high-performing Science Department. This is an excellent opportunity for an ECT or someone with experience looking to develop their teaching and pedagogy in a supportive environment.

The successful candidate will be someone who shares our commitment to high standards of professionalism and academic achievement and is eager to develop their own practice in an environment that is both supportive and at the cutting edge of pedagogy and practice. The department takes a collaborative approach to learning and teaching which values everyone's personalities, skills, interests, and strategies. We are looking for someone who has a genuine passion across all the science disciplines and for teaching young people;

the ability to inspire students; and the desire to go the extra mile to help our students achieve their full potential.

The Science Department is committed to delivering a curriculum is rich and broad; one that equips all learners with fundamental scientific knowledge; develops students’ passion for understanding the world around us; nurtures a love and enjoyment of the subject and helps prepare them for their next steps. The department currently consists of eighteen subject specialists. Each are passionate about their subject and continually challenges themselves to develop their own practice.

The team work collaboratively on the development of pedagogy and are very supportive of each other. The Science Leadership Team is made up of five key responsibility posts; they work together to ensure that the staff and students get the very best deal every day. All teachers are expected to teach the three disciplines at KS3; at KS4, on occasion teachers may be asked to teach outside their specialism at foundation level.

Results achieved in Science are excellent. In 2025, at GCSE over 86% of our combined science students gained 4+ grades with over 20% of these being 7+. Separate sciences at GCSE are popular and results are strong with 79+% achieving 7+ grades in all three disciplines. All three sciences are also incredibly popular at A Level, with two large classes in each discipline;

the results were also excellent across the board with a 100% pass rate in each 60+% gaining A
-B grades. We also offer a Level 3 BTEC in Applied Science that is popular; results for this qualification last year were 100% distinction or distinction star.
